followed.
ww
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your product,
basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following. Read all
instructions before using this appliance.
1. When connecting the power
A dedicated outlet should be
used.
•

•
If unit is connected to an earth
leakage breaker it may trip
resulting in spoiled food.
ww
WARNING
Important Safety Instruction
Do not allow the power plug to face
upward or to be crushed at
the back of the
fridge/freezer.
If the cord is crushed behind
the refrigerator it may damage
the cable resulting in fire. An
upward facing plug may pull loose under the
weight of the cord resulting in electrical failure
causing fire or the fridge turning off and
spoiling food.
Do not allow heavy objects to
kink or crush the power cord.
It may damage the power cord
and become a cause of fire or
electric shock.
Do not extend or modify the
length of the power plug.
This may become the cause of
fire or electric shock.
Unplug the power plug when cleaning,
handling or replacing the interior lamp of
the fridge/freezer.
•
It may cause electric shock or
injury.
•
When replacing the interior
lamp of the fridge/freezer,
make sure that the insulating
rubber ring within the socket is not taken off.
Do not pull out the cord or touch the power
plug with wet hands.
It may cause electric shock or
injury.
Prevent the power cord from being crushed
or kinked if the refrigerator is pushed in
after the power plug is extracted during
the installation.
Crushed or kinked cables can become the cause
of fire or electric shock.
When moving your appliance away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
Do not use the fridge/freezer
for non-domestic puposes
(storing medicine or testing
material, or use in a mobile
application.)
It may cause an unexpected risk
such as fire, electric shock, deterioration of
stored material or chemical reaction.

licensed electrician or
similarly qualified person.
It may be the cause of an
electric shock or fire.
When gas is leaked, do not touch the
fridge/freezer or the outlet and ventilate
the room immediately.
•
The explosion by spark
may cause fire or burn.
•
Because this fridge/freezer

(isobutene, R134a) as
the environment-friendly
refrigerant, even a small amount (150~160g) is
combustible. When the gas is leaked by the
severe damage during delivering, installing or
using the fridge/freezer, any spark may cause
fire or burn.
Do not spray water on either the inside or
outside of the refrigerator. Do not use
alcohol or mineral based
cleaners on the
refrigerator (such as
Benzene or Thinners).
These may deteriorate or
penetrate the insulation or
electrical components
resulting in possible electric shock, fire or
damage to refrigerator.
When any strange smell or smoke is
detected from the fridge/freezer,
disconnect the power
plug immediately and
contact a service center.
Continuing to run unit may
result in Damage or fire.
Do not store medicine or
academic materials
in the
fridge/freezer.
If materials with strict
temperature restrictions, such
as medicines, are stored, they
may deteriorate or react undesirably resulting in
possible harm or risk.
Do not use any combustible
spray near the
fridge/freezer.
It may become the cause of an
explosion or fire.

in possible electric shock or fire.
aIn case of a heavy electrical
storm or if unit is not to be
used for a long period of
time, disconnect the power
plug.
There is a possibility for electrical
damage. This may lead to an
electric shock or fire.

Fill water in ice making tray. Only fill with
enough water to maintain individual blocks, if
over filled blocks will not separate properly
and water may spill into ice bin clumping ice
together.
•
Ice will be dropped into the ice storage bin by
rotating ice separation handle of ice making
compartment.
Note
•
Rotating the ice separation handle before
ice is fully frozen may cause the remaining
water to drop into the ice storage bin and
clump ice together.
Suggestions on food storage

Suggestions on food storage
ww
CAUTION
•
Do not store food which goes bad easily at
low temperature, such as banana, and
melon.
•
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing.
Placing hot food in the freezer could spoil
other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
•
When storing the food, use a container with
a lid. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste
and nutrients.
•
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth
circulation of cold air keeps freezer
temperature even.
•
Do not open the door frequently. Opening
the door lets warm air enter the freezer,
and cause the temperature to rise.
•
Never keep too many foods in door rack,
as this may stop the door from fully
closing.
•
Do not store bottles in the freezer
compartment, Miracle Zone or snack bin
they may break when frozen.
•
Do not refreeze food that has been
thawed. This causes loss of taste and
nutrition.
•
Do not store pharmaceutical products,
scientific materials or other temperature
sensitive products in the freezer.
Products that require strict temperature
controls must not be stored in the freezer.
•
If you want to quick freeze new food, you
put it middle drawer of freezer
compartment, and then press the Super
Freezer button.
•
Do not put in front of the air hole of the
upper drawer of freezer compartment. It
could decrease freezer capacity.
Storing Food
Note
If you keep the freezer in a hot, and humid
place, frequently open its door or put a lot of
vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which
has no effect on its performance. Remove
the dew with a lint free cloth.
•
The Anti-Condensation pipe is
installed around the front side of
freezer as well as on the partition
between freezer compartment to
prevent dewing.
•
Especially after installation or
when ambient temperature is
high, the freezer may feel hot,
which is quite normal.
Care and Maintenance
General Information
How to disassemble each
component
Power Failure
•
1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods
stored. Try to avoid opening and closing the door
too frequently.
It can be possible to disassemble only when the door
is opened by 90° or wider. Disassembling should be
done by the reverse order of assembling.
If You Move
•
Take out foods from the freezer and firmly fix the
loose shelves, draws and accessories with tape.
•
Do not move the freezer by sliding.
